And the San Diego city Council Monday voted unanimously to pass Mayor Todd Gloria’s $4.6 billion budget for the next fiscal year. Then, some critics claim critical race theory advocates discriminating against white people. Where does that idea come from and how is the understanding of this curriculum so vastly different among people? Also, we look at the transition back to in-person arts events, new challenges as venues start welcoming audiences back, and whether or not you'll be seeing masks on the people next to you.

With a seven-decade career, Willie Nelson has earned every conceivable award as a musician and amassed reputable credentials as an author, actor, and activist. He continues to thrive as a relevant and progressive musical and cultural force. In recent years, he has delivered more than a dozen new albums, released a Top 10 New York Times’ bestsellers book, again headlined Farm Aid, an event he co-founded in 1985, been honored by the Library of Congress with their Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, received his 5th degree black belt in Gong Kwon Yu Sul, headlined the annual Luck Reunion food and music festival during SXSW, launched his cannabis companies Willie’s Reserve and Willie’s Remedy, and graced the covers of Rolling Stone and AARP The Magazine. In July 2020, Willie released his album First Rose of Spring - an atmospheric soulful showcase of beautifully-written songs and poignant performances. September 2020 brought a memoir with his sister and pianist Bobbie Nelson titled, Me and Sister Bobbie: True Tales of The Family Band. For 2021, he released a new studio album in February —That's Life, Willie's second album of standards and classics made famous by Frank Sinatra (his first, 2018's My Way, earned Willie the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Solo Album).

Ideally, we wouldn’t need lectures about women artists, or artists of color, or artists from different cultures and sexual orientations. Ideally, they would be just artists of excellence. But until this ideal is reached, there is value in focusing on select female artists of the Impressionist, German Expressionist, and Abstract Expressionist movements, as well as African American and indigenous artists from the Americas and Aboriginal Australia, who were often overshadowed by their male or white counterparts. This class is presented by Cornelia Feye. Feye’s previous lecture series on female artists included Latin American and Asian artists; in this series we are focusing on European, American, African American and indigenous women. The Female Artists Lecture by Cornelia Feye will take place on Tuesdays, October 19, 26, November 2, 9, and 16, 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Full schedule: October 19: Women Artists of Impressionism in Paris October 26: German Expressionist Women Artists November 2: Abstract Expressionist Women Artists in New York November 9: African American Female Artists November 16: Indigenous Female Artists Location | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, La Jolla Register here!

Major artists such as William Blake and Samuel Palmer were part of this group. In addition, two of the most influential landscape painters, JMW Turner and John Constable were gaining prestige at this time.
